player. 48. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers spent the top overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft on Florida State quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston. So with a top-10 pick in the 2016 NFL draft, the Buccaneers need to shore up their offensive line to put Winston in a position to succeed. <p>Invest in your investment essentially.</p> <p>The Buccaneers selecting Ohio State offensive tackle Taylor Decker here is a bit of a reach, we have him graded out as a later first-round pick, but they need help an grabbing a monster Big 10 lineman isn’t a bad idea.</p> <p>Decker is clearly a better run blocker than he is a pass rusher. He is susceptible to speed rushers on the outside, his foot speed and work could use some improvement. But he mirrors well in pass protection and can maintain balance.</p> <p>If he doesn’t improve in these areas, he might be destined to wind up on the right side of an NFL line. If he can improve his ability to pass protect he could be an anchor on the left side of the line protecting Jameis Winston’s blind side.</p> <p>And for the Buccaneers, an upright Jameis Winston could see wins coming to the franchise.</p>. OT. Ohio State. Taylor Decker. 10
